Chapter 4
Hours passed at the Wayne manor, and after dinner Bruce stood up and motioned for his daughter to do the same. They walked side by side until they stopped at Bruce's Grandfather clock. Bruce then proceeded to walk into the cave, knowing that for once he was making a right decision. A new Cat woman would emerge.
The next morning Kaile woke up in her room. She lied on her bed relaying the events that had occurred the night before. She had been shown things beyond her comprehension. It turned out that her own father was the legendary Batman; she couldn't have loved and respected him more than at that moment. He constantly praised her and commended her on her ability to learn quickly. She was no longer kept in the dark and was told everything about her family. Except about for the actual depth of the relationship between her mother and father, was she a fluke or had her parents spent loving years together until something forced them apart, she didn't know. She probably never would.
Nothing she was told shocked her; she was just intrigued and wanted to learn more. The night before, after a lengthy history lesson she was given a tour of the bat cave.
She found out about her mother; that she had been Cat woman. All she felt about this new revelation was annoyance that her own mother hadn't been bothered to tell her. It was at that moment, a week later that she shed her first tear regarding her mother's death. One tear led to thousands more, and she sobbed and cried as Bruce's held her in a tight embrace rocking her gently.
It was as if Bruce had always known how to be caring and compassionate but that this was the first time he had been able to express it. As though when seeing his seventeen year old daughter start to cry both their tears, a switch had been flipped and he forgot all about his self pity and could only concentrate on consoling his beautiful creature before him. Now the only bit of regret that still lingered gallingly in his mind was the abandonment of his family. The bit of information he neglected to tell Kaile about. They could have had a wonderfully fulfilling life, or so Bruce kept slating himself. He never stopped to think that that might have negated the chances of Terry and him having ever met but his 'child' had run away merely a measly four days after turning eighteen, so Bruce easily thought that he wasn't responsible for him anymore. It was apparent that the feeling she harbored towards Kaile didn't even stand a chance at ever existing for Terry, after all he was only good at being Batman, and Bruce obviously didn't think that he was that much of a Batman seeing as though he was getting so easily replaced.
Perhaps Bruce never thought about it, although you'd expect the former Batman to be devious and suspicious, but what if Terry went around telling people everything? 'Nah, he's too smart for that he knows that that would ruin all of them… but then again when had Terry ever cared about the others', Bruce began to worry as hew rehashed the previous events. 'I have to find that boy, and hope he shuts up…for Kaile's sake.'
